I retract my initial offer then.

I'll simply rob them.

Amazing!! I have training on 5 different gyms… in one of them there was a few eleiko bumpers green ones ! Competition plates? Training plates? complete ignorance!!

actualy I saw this somewere on the net:

"...Plus, the Eleiko training set is NOT constructed the same as their competition set. ..."

so means that these olympic training plates (http://www.jordanfreeweights.com/store/category/ej6e/Olympic_T... you’re talking about are not competition calibrated plates?

Now that I wouldn't have expected. Those are precisely the ones that I meant. I assumed that they would be the most resilient - so is this a flaw inherent in all rubber bumpers? Does this mean that weightlifters (of which I am not one - I just like pretty rubber plates...) are constantly replacing split bumpers?


doc i think you will be fine using them for a little bit of deadlifting and benching

when they get dropped/slammed down from eight foot they get knackered

i found this vid for D.Doc:



is the insider eleiko plate with color on the rims the same rubber-encased training Eleikos D.Doc was talking about?

if not, could anyone tell me if those plates (including the insider eleiko plate with color on the rims)are bumper training plates or competition calibrated ones?

thanks friends!!

BigKen said:We have Eliko Training Bumpers at Strath Uni gym, not sure where they got them from, but the price difference between the eliko's and the other brand they were looking at was £3k! Eek

The plates seem solid and preety good IMO.


I am sure i remember Andy or someone saying that they got them from pullum, but i am not 100% sure... and i personally wouldnt as they seem massively overpriced on there!

The other gym i train at has had loads of eleiko competition bumpers (the coloured rubber ones) for years apparently, used by powerlifters and olympic lifters regularly and the only problem seems to be the central metal hub working itsself loose, i am sure they would last decades if you made sure it was tightened properly once every few months (they just tighten on with a few bolts - nothing special)

I am sure storage conditions would play a big role in the durability too, if they where being kept in a damp garage with varying temperature the rubber would be more prone to splitting...

We have a full set of the YORK bumper plates at the Farm, they are bit big and bulky but after 3 years of abuse they are still in fairly good condition.
I think that YORK advertise on here somewhere.

Old thread revived... Having read very positive things about their quality, I sold a child and bought Werksan training bumpers. Very happy with them in all respects.

Unfortunaty I am not happy with the child you sold me so therefore I would like a reffund. He is not as good a climber as I supected, and is making a hash of the guttering. I thought a 3 year old would be like a monkey up and down the drain pipes!

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/...mp;d=1103097070

he were asking to me if he should check those plates or not but i don't know what to tell him!!
are those plates training, or competition ones? more or less accurate than 2%?
could anyone tell me that?
